TRY THIS: IMMUNITY SMOOTHIE

THIS was a staple in our house when we had Covid-19. It serves up 10g of fibre — a third of your recommended daily intake — in one glass, which nourishes the bacteria that ‘train’ your immune system. It is also packed with vitamin C, omega 3 and curcumin (in the turmeric), which have immune-boosting powers.

INGREDIENTS

■ 1 orange, peeled and halved

■ 1 carrot, halved ■ ½ ripe banana

■ 15g fresh ginger, peeled

■ 20g walnuts

■ 7 ice cubes

■ 80ml soy milk, or milk of your choice

■ Big pinch of turmeric

METHOD

BLITZ ingredients for 1 minute or until smooth (add ice first for a smooth blend). Taste and adjust ginger, turmeric and banana quantities for sweetness.
